- Abstract
- The object of this investigation was to ascertain the feasibility of using air as a means of agitating developing solutions by determining the effect of bubbling air through various commercially used developers on their photographic properties. Unseasoned elon-hydroquinone developers of relatively high alkalinity (pH 10.0 to 10.5) showed a rapid decrease in activity after aeration for 1 1/2 hours while elon-hydroquinone-borax developers of low alkalinity (pH 8.4 to 8.8) showed increased activity (due to the liberation of alkali resulting from oxidation) which then remained constant for prolonged periods. In general, the alkalinity of developers containing hydroquinone increased on aeration, while those containing only elon showed little change. Practical tests with processing machines equipped with air agitation devices have shown that very constant developing conditions can be maintained when suitably replenished.
